Summary
I had accumulated nearly 10 years of extensive payroll experience, gained from working in both payroll agencies and in-house environments. I am highly proficient in end-to-end payroll processing and have consistently served as the primary point of contact for payroll-related matters. My experience spans across both finance and HR functions, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of the payroll lifecycle. I have successfully managed payroll operations for employee headcounts ranging from 500 to 900.
My expertise includes working with payroll systems such as Workday (HR), SAP (Finance), Timesoft, Paymaster, and Sage. I also possess advanced competency in Microsoft Excel, with proficiency in key functions such as pivot tables and VLOOKUP. Currently, I collaborate with the outsourced payroll vendor, Iadmin, to oversee payroll operations for Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand.
I aspire to pursue opportunities within the public sector, with a particular interest in driving system enhancement and improvement initiatives. Leveraging my extensive expertise in both HR and finance, I am confident in my ability to make meaningful contributions to this field.
